AE-150
Portable Partial Discharge Detection and Localization System for Power Transformers The AE-150 is used to detect and locate faults in power transformers. Application and operation Powers transformers are critical to Transmission and Distribution substations. In fact, losing a unit can have a big financial consequence. To protect your investment, use Acoustic Emission Testing. This technique is superior to electric methods for on-site tests. The AE-150 detects and locates faults in power transformers. This is done by analyzing ultrasonic waves produced by a breakdown of the electric isolation. The ultrasonic waves travel through the oil and strike the metallic shell of the transformer, providing to the AE-150 the signal needed to locate the problem. The instrument is placed on the metallic surface with the aid of the magnetic attachment system. This system provides an easy way to move the AE-150 to survey the entire transformer. The remote user interface and the RF communication system make it possible to operate the unit safely even in the most hostile environments. detect

Use the AE-150 as a continuous monitoring tool to detect transitory problems. The AE-150 is a superior alternative to the chemical analysis of oil from power transformers. It provides real-time analysis packaged in an easy-touse-, cost effective solution. Software The user interface uses five (5) modules each having a specific function. The modules from top to bottom are: main ultrasonic waveform graph, the control panel, partial discharge/phase display, 2D/3D position graph and measurement table.
